100% true. You can feel his passion and commitment most of the time. We should have at least 11 players like that.

All available options are not worth it, I guess we just have to support RDM for now.

No comment.

If it's not going to be Jose, I would love to see this man in charge after Euro12.

He must not play for any English team but Chelsea.

Yeah, the midfield and overall team performance was way better yesterday. Guess whyyy?!

Look how frustrated he is:

Yes but he was okay against Man U and still a better decision to start with him instead of Tattoo Boy. Let's agree to disagree on that.

And here's what AVB said after the match: Are you fucking kidding me?

Why is it a risk with Essien? It's a very important game and he's fit. You're making it seem like it's his first appearance since the injury.

This game should have been played defensively with a defensive midfielder like Essien (who is still better than Tattoo Boy no matter what) or Mikel, so having an open attacking game made us lose the advantage of the second leg at the Bridge. And about the 5-3, Malouda, Lampard and Terry fell short as well.

We all know this team can't win the CL, so we're gonna leave the competition sooner or later. AVB made a huge mistake with choosing midfield players.. In this type of games you HAVE to have players like Essien and Mikel (Remember the 2-2 at Olimpico di Torino?) but instead he starts with the ever-underwhelming Meireles. And Bosingwa as LB while Ashley's available? Let's all imagine how bad it would have been if Ashley didn't play and save the whole team from conceding that 4th goal.

This kind of players shouldn't be in a club like Chelsea. He's not good enough, no excuse.

No Bosingwa+Torres = No defeat. As simple as that.

Haha don't worry. So are most of us.

I'm with you 100% on everything you said. What I meant is the situation of a high-priced striker who fails the expectations and ends up being sold with a poor scoring record (for a striker).

Unfortunately we might be witnessing a Shevchenko situation all over again. He should leave in the summer if he stays like this, it's a no-brainer.

It's complicated with AVB. It's like I want him to build a new team this summer but at the same time I don't want us to finish outside the top 4.

Thanks a lot to all of you, especially Jim for adding the flag.

My only wish: No Bosingwa on the pitch. I've waited so long!!

That's what I see when I watch Torres on the pitch.

Aha, so it wasn't his wife who didn't like life in London?

Exactly, he was one of the reasons I started supporting Chelsea. But does anyone know what really happened during the summer of 2007? I mean what was the main reason behind his exit?

Thanks a lot guys! My all-time favourite player is Super Frank. But right now, it's all about the quality Juan Mata brings to the team.
